Welcome
to Shamwari Game Reserve, 20 000 hectres
(49000 acres) the malaria free, private
game reserve situated in the Eastern
Cape of South Africa, has received numerous
international awards, including the
World's Leading Conservation Company
and Game Reserve for five consecutive
years. It is situated in verdant bush
along the Bushmans River, halfway between
Port Elizabeth (45 minutes drive outside
the city) and Grahamstown, a pleasant
drive from Cape Town, forming a natural
extension to the famous Garden Route.
Shamwari is about conserving a vanishing
way of life and is the realisation of
one man's dream, and the success of
many people's passion. Steeped in Settler
history, and dating back to the time
when a multitude of game roamed wild
and free, the 20 000 hectare reserve
boasts five eco-systems, thus enabling
the support of many forms of plant,
animal and bird life.
This
is the ultimate African adventure and
conservation effort coupled with responsible
tourism.
